As I sit (in a very cushy) suite at the Hampton Inn in Richmond, Indiana, I realize that I will spend nearly 20% of my time in the foreseeable future in places like this.Second round (on-site) interviews are a complicated dance between potential employers and employees. It's not only a chance for you to impress them, but for them to woo you as well.Case in point.

It's that time of the quarter... midterms... interviews...gloomy weather...They all seem to come together in a nasty blend some days.After seeing more than the normal percentage of students walking with their heads down, with a woebegone expression on their face, I figured perhaps I could share some of my coping mechanisms.The first thing is to consider your priorities in life. An effective exercise for this is to write your obituary as if you passed away today; then write it with everything you hope to accomplish in your life.

First year, second year, you name it, you're probably getting your suit out of the closet on an ever-increasing frequency this month!It's interview season again! Others have said that this is one of the most active recruiting years in recent history, and I would have to agree (which is excellent news for graduating students).A big thank you to the Career Management Office for putting on another wonderful Fisher Fall Career Fair this past week. There were many excellent companies hiring for a wide variety of positions.

I had the great pleasure of attending the NAWMBA (National Association of Women MBA's) Conference in Louisville, KY the past few days. Here are some of my thoughts...1. Louisville is a beautiful, charming city! I had never been to the revitalized downtown area before, only the Historic District. The city is very well-kept, people are extremely friendly, and the restaurants and pubs are busy and delightful.2. There are so MANY amazing, powerful, awe-inspiring, talented women.

Greetings!I realize it's been quite a hiatus since my last post - there's definitely a lot to catch up on!I, like many of the now second-year MBA's, spent the summer interning at a company, working on a great project. I worked at Ford Motor Company, up in Michigan. It was a cool company - Alan Mulally, the CEO, has a great message and vision that I felt very comfortable standing behind.
